True Blonde (1999) - Lisa Yuskavage
Lauded by Village Voice critic Peter Schjeldahl as "an extravagantly deft painter," Yuskavage has been represented in over 50 group shows, including the 2000 Whitney Biennial and recent exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, P.S. 1/The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Aldrich Museum, Connecticut.
Yuskavage creates paintings that are both unsettling and seductive. While the content of her work is provocative and sometimes disturbing, the formal qualities are enticing. She manipulates paint in a style that synthesizes abstraction and representation, and skillfully quotes from and refers to a wide range of art historical periods in her works. --Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania
